What's new

New optional Check in button on the sharing notification: turn it on in Settings, Sharing. A locked phone asks for the unlock first, and it cannot cancel an SOS. Your circle now sees "checked in" when you check in. Your pin no longer bounces between a sharp GPS fix and a vague network one. The circle panel can be dragged from anywhere on it, and a pull down from the top of the full list collapses it.
